I like makes me want to get the ATI stock for mine. that and I spent so much time refinishing the original stock I don't want to bang it up again.

So I finally got to shoot this thing today. After a couple rounds, the bolt assembly hangs up and won't move unless I really pull up and back on it. Once it cools down, its fine for a couple more rounds. Seems I just need to dremel a little bit to make it smoother.
Also, for me personally, the recoil really kills my shoulder. What product could I put on to absorb most of that recoil?

Sell it and buy a smaller caliber. Serious, it is a bolt action large caliber rifle and it isn't going to get much better. Do not take a dremel to anything and let Cranky look it over because it may be a lot simpler to fix and require no tools.

7.62x54r is equivalent to a 30-06 powerwise. It's gonna kick period.

I enjoy the kick even the wife likes it!

The 762x54r is a big round and produces a stout recoil. It was designed as long distance man stopper and to penetrate cover in a indestructible action, not for comfort. I guess men were more manly back then. (insert Rob here)

I shot a Mosin that done this and the owner said it was an extractor issue I believe. The action should be smooth, have a smith look at it or throw some parts at it.

Sticky bolt can be a cosmoline issue, do a good scrubbing of bore/chamber.

Now this one I like, similar to mine.

As for recoil you get better recoil pads but you will never get rid of it all.

Thanks for the info. I know I won't get rid of it, I just want to make it a little bit more tolerable on my shoulder. I am thinking about Cabela's Kick Killer.
